(23,138 posts)There's no option for voting a straight ticket, but I only chose those with D's behind their names. My husband was nice enough to do the research about judges and most were appointed by repugs and rule rw, so we voted no on every judge but one who's a holdover. Give Gillum a chance to appoint much better judges!

And I donated to Gillum's campaign...I want him to crush DeSantis.

(23,138 posts)I'm also praying and working hard to keep Nelson in the Senate. Just agreed today to do poll watching on election day. I sure hope the crazies don't pick my precinct to act out in, but if so, I'll deal by calling the democratic election attorneys help line. Everything has been peaceful so far here in Jax., hope it continues that way.

(51,622 posts)I vote straight D except when it comes to the school board. I was a teacher and know more about them than most people and sometimes it comes down to "Are any of them good?" or "Which one isn't as bad as the others". It IS that bad at the public education level.

(11,330 posts)I used https://judgevoterguide.com/ which is the conservative guide to judges and voted the opposite of their recommendations since I couldn't find a liberal list for my county.
